"It was a great opportunity to lead an independent project and to ask novel questions within the forest ecology field. CREAF was the best place I could choose: a welcoming and supportive environment where I was continuously exposed to multidisciplinary and cutting-edge science and nourished by exchanges with colleagues."

The MSCA support service of CREAF is part of the Severo Ochoa “ULandscape” funded in 2019 by the Agencia Estatal de Investigación of the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation to support Research Centres of Excellence.
